Defeated Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Ken Hechler endorsed Mountain Party candidate Jesse Johnson at a press conference at the State Capitol Complex in Charleston, W.Va. Wednesday afternoon. Hechler lost the Democratic special primary race to Gov. Joe Manchin. Johnson and Manchin will face Republican John Raese in the November general election.
Prior to introducing Johnson Hechler accused the Manchin administration, and Division of Culture and History Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith in particular, of “double talk” in regards to taking Blair Mountain of the National Register of Historic Places, then resubmitted the application. Charleston Gazette reporter Alison Knezevich has more details.

This is great oppertunity to get the much needed information spread in front of the public. We have an outstanding man who deserves to be heard. He is a serious contender running a clean campaign. Jesse has thought out many of the problems facing the state. His answers reflect positive approaches to the deep concerns that we all have.
